I’ll be honest, Clinique isn’t really a makeup brand that is on my radar much. I have used some of their moisturizers for ever, but barely have any actual makeup from them. However when I was at the local CCO a couple weeks ago I couldn’t pass up this gorgeous shimmery shadow I saw called Lucky Penny.

Lucky Penny is from their Color Surge Eye Shadow Super Shimmer line. It’s a bronze/pink shade with lots of shimmer, but not the loose glittery kind of shimmer. No, this is much nicer.

Lucky Penny

Lucky Penny isn’t just a shimmery pinky bronze but also a bit metallic. I’ve been wearing it in some of my full face photos lately and a few people have been asking about it. What I really like about the shade is it’s a really warm and flattering color. Natural, but not boring or invisible looking. The texture is super soft and very pigmented. A little goes a long way and it’s really easy to blend out. It looks particularly great with a peachy pink blush and gloss (like my beloved Bobbi Brown Pink Gold).

I have one Clinique eyeshadow. I’ve had it for years but I didn’t remember the name of it. I remember I really loved it and used to get asked a lot what I had on when I wore it.
Just checked and yes – it’s Lucky Penny!!

It’s been years since I purchased a clinique eyeshadow but I found them to be very high quality. One of the few eyeshadows I ever usedup was from clinique. I wish they were still cruelty-freeCatherine (@bcrueltyfree)´s last post…SLEEK Contour Kit in Medium

This must be an underground favorite. I rediscovered this color a few months back when going through my stash. Pulled it out and loved it during summer. Guess I’m not alone. I received mine in a clinique gift with purchase.

btw, hi, VV! I haven’t commented in FOREVER, but I have still been reading!

Oh my! I have worn “Lucky Penny” since high school. This is so weird that you posted this because I recently found it buried under my Mac shadows and UD Nakeds and have worn it every day since. It’s so pretty for work and super long lasting. Yayyyyyy!
